Dangerous Baggagc.

PITTSBURGH PA. Jan. 19.-The baggage ear attached to the New York limited express, which arrived in this city at l0:30 last night, was almost blown to pieces by dynamite or some other terrible explosive few miles east of Altoona. A trunk was put on the train at Duncannon, near Harrisburg, and was checked through to Pittsburgh. Baggageman Mingus was arranging the trunks in the car and picked up the one received at Duncannon and threw it on top of some other baggage. An explosion followed, which lifted the top off the car as though 1t was made of paper and scattered fragments in all directions. The shock was terrible and startled the engineer and traininen. It also attracted the attention of the passengers and when 1t was found that the baggage car had been almost blown to pieces the frelttese.. eycitement prevailed The train was stopped and tfsas2stsase transferred to another car. Mingus was quite seriousi15S injured, but will recover.
 The owner of the trunk was arrested when he presented the check for this trunk at the baggage room this morning. He said that he was a Hungarian coal miner and that his name was John Kagman. He came from Hazelton in search of work and strenurously denied that there was any explosive in the trunk. It contained, be claimed nothing but clothing and some matches Pending thorought investigation he will be detained.

KNIGHT AGAINST KNIGHT.
The Augusta Assembly Sues the Ma
tional Order for So, 900.


AUGUSTA. GA, Feb. 11.-With the ap-
proval of the local knights of Labor the
creditors of that organization in Augusta
have begun legal proceedings against the
national order for debts contracted during
the recent strike here, and which were
not settled by Committeeman Wright,
who amicably adjusted the mill trouble
in Augusta and discharged the largest
part of the Indebtedness of the order in
Cured during the great lockout. There
remains outstanding debts against the
order aggregating about So, 900, principally
4 for rent, druggists, physicians aad gro
icers' bills. Some of the complainants in the
action are themselves prominent knights.
1t is proposed to attach the funds OF
the order now known to be deposited
In Philadelphia banks, and bill in equity
in the Pennsylvania courts will be filed
to-day or tomorrow. If these creditors
can furnish evidence OF contract rela-
ton with the Executive Board OF the
Knights, the legality of that board will
then be established. The constitution of
the order makes the General Board OF the
Knights of Labor liable for debts incurred
In support of a lockout as contra
distinguished from strike, and
1T the order shall now repudiate
this liability, or seek to AVOID it in court
of law, tx effect will be disastrous
when the general order shall undertake
any further responsibility for debts con-
tracted under similar circumstances. 1t
is saIS,.sat Hon. Daniel DOugherty, of
Philac9Ass-a, is associated with Z. j.
Sullivan, of Georgia, In pushing the claim
and action, and in all likelihood the suit
will become one of national Importance
